Karnok starts every run with the Karnok’s Rage skill. Using items builds Rage; at 100 Rage you Enrage. Enrage removes all Slow and Freeze from your items and reduces their cooldowns by 10% for five seconds. Items that say “When you Enrage” or “While you are Enraged” add to that moment.
Changing the threshold
| Source | Effect on Enrage |
|---|---|
| Hydra Tree (Karnok, 19.0) | Need 25 less Rage; while Enraged your items have +1 Multicast |
| Blind Fury (skill, 19.0) | Need 25/50 more Rage, but gain 25/50 Rage at the start of each fight |
| Burst of Rage (skill, 19.0) | Gain 5/10/15/20 Rage at the start of each fight |
| Warpaint (18.0) | Gold-tier; Rage gain 15/20 |
With Hydra Tree the meter fills at 75. Blind Fury at its higher tier raises the requirement to 150 but starts each fight with 50 filled, so the first Enrage still needs 100 more Rage.
Gaining Rage
Sigils convert one of your effects into Rage: Flame Sigil gains 4/8 Rage when you Burn, Toxic Sigil when you Poison, Tranquil Sigil 4/6/8 when you Heal. Their “When you Enrage” lines then hand out Burn, Poison or Heal. Since Patch 20.0 the skill Lone Charge gives 20/30 Rage each time you use your only Friend.
Items that scale with Rage or Max Health
| Item | Patch 20.0 or later text |
|---|---|
| Sawpike | Damage equal to 2/3/4 times the Rage you have gained this fight (18.0) |
| Pauldrons | Shield equal to 2/3/4 times the Rage gained this fight (18.0) |
| Lost Blade | CD 6, Multicast 2, Damage equal to 10% of your Max Health; gains 50/100 Max Health when you Heal or Slow |
| Resistance Band | CD 5; gain 25/50/100 Max Health for the fight |
| Geyser | When you Enrage, Burn equal to 3%/6% of your Max Health (19.0) |
Patch 19.0 removed the cooldown reduction that Runed Amulet gave on Enrage and the doubled Heal on Yarrow Paste.
Rage on other heroes
Since Patch 12.0 any hero can be offered Karnok’s basic Rage skill at Level Up if they hold an item that needs Rage; Patch 12.2 extended this to Rage skills.
Karnok’s 10-win rate was the lowest of the eight heroes (22.1%) in Tempo’s Hotfix 19.3 table, before Patch 20.0 reworked Lost Blade, Runic Claymore and Dual Reaver. See hero win rates and Karnok’s page.
